IKIGAI AND OTHER JAPANESE WORDS TO LIVE BY (MODERN BOOKS)

A unique book exploring the lifestyle concepts of Ikigai and Wabi Sabi through the powers and wisdom of the Japanese Language. Fujimoto shows how the expression held in the use of Japanese is just as important as the practises of either form of philosophy. Single words can hold an entire wealth of cultural meaning. Such as wa, which relates to harmony between social circles, or myo, which refers to the spirit within beauty. The book is a fascinating analysis of how the Japanese language works, alongside further insight into the popular arts of ikigai and wabi sabi.
